It’s not just one Ohio State football coach teams are considering to lead their programs this offseason. A second name is being thrown out there.

Offensive line coach Justin Frye has been connected to the open Indiana head coaching position. Now defensive coordinator [autotag]Jim Knowles[/autotag] has been mentioned as a potential fit to take over the Duke program.

The Blue Devils’ head coach Mike Elko left to take over Texas A&M, creating the vacancy. 247Sports Brad Crawford believes Knowles would be a fit considering he was a coordinator for Duke while David Cutcliffe was leading the program.

The key here is that “sources tell 247Sports they’re unsure if he’s interested in being a head coach at this stage of his career.”

Knowles is in his second season with the Buckeyes, who showed improvement but not quite enough to make it back to the Big Ten championship game.
